This is my first entry on the PSNetwork blog, so I thought I'd ask a general question as it revolves around the comment of "deleting an entry "which WE feel" it's not use to anyone..." can someone clarify that comment in a blog context, as I have my own site (not Myspace, or Facebook) a proper site, and on that site I have a blog... surely isn't a blog an online diary of someone's personal thoughts....

In moments when I feel particularly strange for some reason writing sonnets is cathartic. Yes, I do write stories, but if I am experiencing a strange episode of emotions I usually am to the point where I can't write anything productive...story-wise. So here I am. Today was a good day apart from one thing that makes me feel sad. My dogs discovered a baby bird today and being beagles lunged for it. I managed to get ahold of it and it was still alive. I placed it up on a wall where its parents sat and hoped for the best.

Well folks, this is quite possibly going to be the busiest next few weeks of my life. I've got two presentations back to back for which I have to write a script, write an essay, do a group evaluation, and write an analysis essay for. AND..to make things even more pressing on me, both presentations happen right after Halloween. So, that makes me even more stressed out. I can just feel tension building on me right now, and it's not the pretty kind of tension. It's the hurting kind.

So a quick update from the last blog. I passed Physics. I got a C, but doggone it I passed. That's all that matters. I don't see myself using physics in my career of being an english professor and an author on the side. Highly unlikely actually...and if I do write something that requires knowledge of physics, I will just ask one of my many friends who are engineering majors and see what they can tell me about it.

NO, not the books, my life, or least job wise anyways.So had my last interview today and I wasn't sure if it went ok or not, I've given up trying to hope and just let fate decide what goes on and such.

Well it seems fate doesn't want to support me in any way at all as I got a call on my mobile (cell) and it was the deputy Headteacher. She said "I hate to say this but we gave the job to someone with more experience" well I'm paraphrasing there but she did mention about giving the job to someone who had had More Experience.

I mean how on Earth can I get experience if I'm not given a chance? :(

Hi people, sorry disappeared for a while, was feeling a little dickie... it was coming out of both ends, but it's all good in the hood now, I'm on the road to recoveryHad been due to hook up with a few pals at the weekend to give the PS3 a thrashing, but alas they had all double booked....man I got to change that aftershave.... Black Suede by Avon just isn't doing it anymore.... so I spent the weekend playing with myself and completed the first season of FIFA08...I shall write a review for the site at some point soon

Not really feeling the whole christmas spirit yet which is odd since I was the one who picked out the tree, decorated the tree, helped decorate my brother's apartment and made christmas cookies.Why don't I feel the christmas spirit? It's a filial war zone right here! I came home from the bible study tonight and felt very thrilled with everything that was going on and came home to screaming, yelling, crying and more screaming. It got louder louder and LOUDER STILL!! (sounds like something from a Poe movie doesn't it?) It just kept getting more intense to the point where I decided I was not going to hang out around here any longer and called my boyfriend up right away and asked him what he was doing.

I logged onto my email today after sleeping really really really long.I saw I had 4 new emails and 2 new bulk emails.Here's the catch though...ALL the emails had to do with my fanfiction on fanfiction.net.I was added to a favorite authors list and put on alert for when I write anything more on my fanfiction.I had my story added onto the favorite stories as well.That was great and all...however--

I am up at 2:30 in the morning right now and I am posting on here when I really should be in bed. Before I head off to bed, I would just like to tell ya all I've posted a nice little new bit on my fiction site. I created it today courtesy of a creative writing worksheet which asked me to write the climax of my second short story (The one I posted here and told you all to shorten for me;)) through the eyes of a different character.

Ever had a feeling like something just totally felt right about what you're doing?That's pretty much how I've been feeling lately. I write well. I've disciplined myself to write something as much as I can..and it's really paying off for me. I'm confident in my writing now.I posted a second excerpt on my wordpress blog, so if any of you are interested you can check it out.As per always, some material may be inappropriate for children under the age of 17.

Well folks, today marks the start of a new day.In fact, today is the first day which I will be reading my first ever short story with the world. It's rather exciting and scary at the same time.For those of you whom have seen my fiction site, I'm going to be reading the "Mugging the Mansion" entry, which is an expansion of excerpt eight I believe. I am in the process of writing my second story as well and it is becoming bigger than I could imagine. My professor welcomed new ideas though. He claims if you had to constantly censor yourself as a writer you would never write anything.

hi yall, i'm new here!! i just wanted 2 stop by and say i hope i meet alot of new people and have alot of fun!thanksAngel

we have tried everything we want to know how too play two players for need for speed any help would be greatly apprectiated. thanks so if anyone knows how to get into the game for 2 players we need help very badly.

So I thought that I had basically done all my growing up at my last school, Mount SAC. I'm approaching the close of my first quarter at UC Riverside and have come to the conclusion that I'm still growing up. I mean, yeah, I'm not exactly young anymore....but when I was a child I was convinced once you hit about twenty years old...you've grown up officially. Not true. Not even true in the slightest.

it really sucks because my PS1 ALMOST broke down and it was horrible cuz i have been playing that baby since i was 2 1/2 years old. BUT i fixed it in time. my cuzin got 5 lego's stuck in the generater type thingy. PRAISE JEBUS THAT THING GOT FIXED!!!

For those of us who were lucky enough to grow up and experience the freedom of childhood in the 60's & 70's, you will enjoy this list. For those of you who are children of the 80's & 90's, you too will find this list interesting...and a sad commentary of what you have missed out on. * Our baby cribs were covered with bright colored lead-based paints. * We had no childproof lids on medicine bottles, doors or cabinets.

thay should be boycotted for not caring about the little man bad customer care and thay have us by the balls and dont feel like 1 person matters and can treat u like u dont matter at all because thay are running a us all like ants in a ant farm

Well, its been about a month since i took the online gaming plunge. First COD4, got shot to bits, then PES08, got batterd 4-0 every time and then Warhawk, well the less said about that the better.Its been a baptism of fire but i'm coming through it, i think. Got ot grips with COD4, and PES08 is rubbish online anyway. Warhawk is a game where you only get out what you put in, i think.Trying to balance my gaming obsession with being a husband and father to 2 beautiful young girls is a lot harder than any of the above.

Well, it is no secret that one of my interests is gaming, but I also have other hobbies or interests that occupy my time as well. I am a amateur Astronomer and spend many hours peering into the vastness of space and all the wonders it hides with my fairly large telescope. Open clusters, globular cluster, nebula, galaxies, planets...all of them are a marvel and I never tire of looking at them.

I've written a lot of poetry over the past six months....and actually in my opinion it's the best batch I've constructed. I thought I'd share them with you. I would send them out to get published, but I think I'll wait until I've graduated with a Creative Writing degree before I do that. Enjoy!"Bitten by a Rattlesnake"I was bitten by a rattlesnake whileholding the bluebelle flower it gaurded.

So as many of you other gamers know, I have been very excited about the holiday season and receiving my gifts and such. Well, I received Guitar Hero III, which I have now beaten and am very proud of myself for doing so. I received Katamari Damasy, which my friend and I beat together a few days ago. Then I bought the next game I'm going to try to beat. It's called The Sims 2 Castaway. I've already spent probably a grand total of 10 hours playing it over the past few days but it was well worth the money I spent.

So when I was accepted to UC Riverside I was actually excited. New school. Major classes! Big workshops, and lots of new experiences...but lately I'm beginning to reconsider my decision. The housing situation has really put a strain on my "have fun, experience things" bit. It's not my roommates. No, my roommates are great! I have a feeling I'm going to be able to tolerate them just fine. No, it's a much bigger problem.

Well hello everyone! I know I've been MIA as of late, but now the stuff keeping me busy has gone away at least for the time being and I'm clear to come back again.:) Although I don't know how enthusiastic I am over coming back because while being away I felt like I was on cloud nine....and now I feel as though I'm bordering on a depression.I just finished attempting six units during the Winter intersession...which is the equivalent of 18 units in a regular semester. I had never done it before but I thought, how hard could it be? 2 of those units were spent on my play which I wrote last year and got performed and then the other 4 were spent on physics.

When I was little summer was always devoted to Vacation Bible School and a Summer play. My cousins and I would all be in these musicals with the other children at my church and it was a lot of time and a lot of fun....but for whatever reason they decided to not to continue the tradition once I became a Jr. Higher (Age 12 [for you British folk]).Now they have decided to restart the tradition, but the problem is that there are no kids anymore. Most the "kids" from the church had all grown up to teenagers. There is a total of 6 kids who originally go to our church and all of them are in it. They selected the Seussical musical for a performance in a few weeks...and all I can say is I never realized how much work goes into it.

I just finished the 14th chapter of Speciman Alpha, which is on its way towards the end, and I think now that I've just finished it I can write and write and write more for that story.

Well life around my neck of the woods has certainly been incredibly busy. I've been burying myself in stuff to do so that I have had no opportunity to sit and sulk over the fact that I still remain unemployed....for reasons I am still completely unaware of. Big changes have happened since I last wrote. I've lost touch with quite a few friends which I had at my old private university.When I started back in 2004, I had quite a few friends but once I left that number quickly dwindled down to a mere five. From those five three left me in the cold...and then there were two. And the last of the two have finally parted ways with me. It makes me feel a little sad sometimes, but I think that it is probably just that we have nothing in common in their minds. I actually spent a whole afternoon speaking with the last friend I had about literature and music...and it seemed like a lovely conversation. But she has since decided to not speak to me again. Naturally I feel like it must have been something I said, but my mom has gone ahead and assured me that it probably was not...and was just her realizing that she had nothing in common with me.

Hello to all, I've been scarce as of late, and do apologize. If none is needed than disreguard that as a moot point. I guess I've been busy doing actually nothing. There is of course work and raising a family, but my spare time has been spent gaming and not posting.I just cleaned up my E-Mail and had 543 unread messages if that tells you anything. As of late, my job is going well. We just started a 5-6 year contract at the local Air Force Base up here, so hoorahh for job security. Wife is going through some medical problems which concern us, but she is now on a leave of abscence from work until everything is rectified.

It's been a while, had a few issues with the old PC and then they firewalled anything remotely linked with gaming, so no IGN, no Gamespot everything, just becaise some muppet kept gaming during work hours... fool... spoilt it for everyone.... but I'm back so you'll be hearing more from me this week, having completed Army of Two, so review to come, have got GT5 Pro, Timeshift and Dark Sector, so I'll post initial reviews on those three games too.....

Yes, I am shedding a tear for my duckies. They had such a good start to Game 2 tonight and then the Stars just slaughtered them. It's funny. Two years ago I would have been rooting for the Stars, but the Ducks have done well relatively all season to the point where I thought they might have a shot at keeping their feathers on the cup.My boyfriend and I watched in shock as the Ducks played against the Stars. There were intense moments. We laughed, we cried and we sighed. They could have done so well if they hadn't messed themselves up with 3 penalties right in a row. =_=

Melinda S has come to town!!Remember back a few months ago when I posted that play which I asked you all to decide which of the seven deadly sins was demonstrated in that piece?I received an email from my professor (who is a fairly established playwright worldwide) today and he told me he would like to include the play "Harley's Moment in Heaven" in the Winter 2009 production of short plays. It was one of 10 that was selected out of 65 plays submitted.

The weekend started ok as it happens, as we had a bit of a bowling team night out and it wasn't a "Busman's Holiday", we actually went and did Indoor Golf and it was fun. I'd actually gone here for my birthday last year, I actually played better than birthday, only because there were less air shots, but I still came in bringing up the rear, with Digits winning and The Mag coming in second. I def need to get more practise as my man Matt Hal is not doubt gonna want to go golf when we hook up in Florida in October this year.

I don't usually follow dog shows. I like to watch them yes, but usually end up incredibly disappointed when I see who wins Best in Show. It's always a Poodle, an Airedale or some dogs that's incredibly fluffy and although they may have great personality, their looks don't end up with the same consistency.I watched the Westminster Dog Show last night and was dancing up and down the hallway when I saw Uno, the Beagle, got pronounced the Best in Show. For some reason I always pulled for the beagles and when I heard them announce Uno had won I was sooo happy. It made me proud to be a beagle owner.

I lost us the game, I was gutted, can now imagine how the real football stars feel when they lose to a penalty shoot out]]>The Big Reviewhttp://www.absolute-playstation.com/help/discussion/11388/the-big-review

So today was the day in which my play was read. Yes, the play that I posted on here for all of you to read awhile ago..It was read today. The people whom I nominated read the parts were very good. Some lines were not read quite how I had intended, but all in all it was a good reading. I was genuinely amazed with the fact that everyone who heard the play liked it. This is the one play that I loathed as I was writing it and apparently all my blood sweat and tears that I put into it made it appear as though it were art.

So this whole month has been relatively busy. Not necessarily busy as in I can't get stuff done, but I have definitely been having lots of occurances in which I am on the run. I don't know what it is, but it certainly adds to the already stressful persona I carry around.Have I bitten off more than I can chew? I don't think so. It's certainly nothing compared to the last semester of school where I had no opportunity to rest because I had X Y and Z due the next day. It's just a different sort of stress I suppose.

For those of you who wish you could read my stuff, I've gone ahead and added one of the first plays I could be allowed to present on here.This is my play for playwriting class. The basic premise is we have to write a play within a theme of one of the seven deadly sins. If you have a few minutes will you read it and reply back with what you believe the sin is based on this snippit I have here? It will help me in figuring out how to fix this play or not fix it. And for those of you who don't know all seven deadly sins, here's a summary of them.

PROFILE PICTURE!!I finally figured out my bug of a camera and fixed it up so that it could upload pictures. I uploaded a picture of me with my new cut. Granted, it's not styled or anything, but that's basically how it looks anyway.:DI'll post a real blog tomorrow night.

IT SEEMS DUE, TO THE POWER OF THE PS3, CAR DAMAGE WILL BE AVAILABLE IN GRAN TURISMO 5 WITHOUT AN ADVERSE EFFECT TO THE GAMES LOOK OR GAMEPLAY, WHICH WILL BE A FIRST IN THE GT FRANCHISE.LAST NIGHT BARNET THUMPED THE PRIMA DONNA'S OF CHELSEA 0 - 4 IN THE QUARTER-FINALS OF THE FA CUP... BARNET NOW HOST LIVERPOOL AT UNDERHILL IN THE SEMI-FINAL... BARNET MANAGER TC SAID, "IT WAS A TENSE FIRST 30 MINUTES, BUT ONCE THE FIRST GOAL WENT IN, I FELT WE HAD THE MEASURE OF THEM...."

A pretty chilled weekend in Camstar's World, though I did get some mixed news... all you regular readers may remember back in late September I mentioned I was gonna be getting a two - three day a week flatmate called Kat, as she was starting a new job and needed a base to work outta.... but then she had an op in October and was laid up will January... yes one of the women ops... So she'd only actually stayed in my house twice in all the time... well I was in communication with her over the weekend and alas she now won't be moving in as she's found a place in Irthlingborough, which, if you didn't know is probably the smallest town in England.

Bowling on Thursday.... oh dear.... some would say, we got bit*h slapped, pistol whipped, battered, white washed, but essentially we, and that's the Royal we. got our butts handed to us on a chipped plate... not even bone china mate, we got thumped.... final score was 8 - 0... going into to the last game we were 99 pins down... and we lost the last game so we were even more pins down....thing is we put in reasonable scores considering we hadn't bowled for 5 weeks... 132, 128, 127, 96, 136 and 116... but yep we lost....... badly.....It reminds me of that football commentary where the commentator reeled off a whole list of British figure heads and ended it with... "Your boys took a hell of a beating"....

I don't think she listened to me when I distinctly said SHOULDER LENGTH.She chopped it, like REALLY chopped it. What I was intending on having in videogame terms would be a hairstyle similar to Yuna for FFX...what I ended up with was a haircut similar to Yuffie from FFVII. :(It's cute for sure. It's layered and whatnot, but it is NOT what I had in mind and I can't believe what I paid to get this ugly hairstyle.:( I could cry because this stupid lady had me in the chair for FOUR HOURS. She had more than enough time to know what I wanted and do so.

It was true. I am South Africas newest millionaire.It felt like, like, heavenEverything around me seemed to halt. The man told me where to go.I got in my car and sped to the hall where I would get the $$$ (well, the RRR)I collected the money. I counted it. It was legit.The million was there.As I was driving home, I said to myself, smiling "Just my luck"

Well after much crying and pouting and sobbing my mom took me back to the hair salon and demanded that they even out my hair. I told the owner of the shop about how depressing it for me because I was unable to style it because of how poorly it was cut. The owner has know my family for awhile I guess and turns out she was happy to ablige. She rushed me back and took out a pair of scissors (like a good hair stylist) and began cutting like a good stylist. My hair looks better now, but I'm still not particularly fond of it.

yo peeps, is there a website that is top recommended for ps3 downloads. i want to use the ps3 features as much as i can. i have yet been able to find a good site that gives me much for my buck$. i want to get music, movies, and GAMES if all possible. bkfro4ya

I want to know what do I have to win buying a PS3 60Mb version, instead of the 20Mb version. Is the velocity of chargement or only the space I can use for saving, or could it be because of the NET plays...

test? zoom zoom. well we'll see if this works as it was intended to work, if not, what to do? I have no clue but one hundred word entries? Feels like my GRE's all over again, or is it? we'll see how much nonsense i have to type in order to create such a blog, oh dear what else can I talk about? Im out looking for a job, I need to find something in the area of public education, teaching social studies or something, we'll see.

Just a note to say hello Today is the first day I bowl at the Stirchley Lanes, and I ain't bowled in four weeks at least, so I'm not holding about much luck for a good score today at... as they say in Outlaw Golf... "Things ain't looking Rosie"....It's been a mixed bag of emotions the last few days from the joy of watching Trevor win the SoccerAm Dance Off, have to say though he wasn't the best dancer, he gave it a good shot and got my vote for effort alone.... the boy did good, and not forgetting seeing Phil The Power Taylor ping the ball through the hole in Hollywood..... the man's a legend....

I told myself that I wouldn't do it again. I mean, the last time was out of control. Sprawled out on the floor... crying... acting like a baby. If you can't handle something, then you shouldn't do it. Willpower. That's what I've always said. But some things you just can't resist. When your body says, "Let's do this", it really doesn't matter what your mind says...

So Christmas morning Santa was so gracious to give my mother a Nintendo DS with the Brain Age game. Since my mom hasn't touched her brain age game I decided yesterday that I would give it a try. At first test my brain was told to be about 60...which, considering how I'm totally not there yet I was a little shocked. So I engaged in various games and found out my brain is now in it's 40s. He actually told me it was 41 but it was all in good fun.
